The Best Of It's KindRated 5 out of 5 stars

This was the second add-on of this kind I've used but is, by far, the one that does the best job.

Thanks to Minimize Addon-Bar, the add-on bar doesn't occupy more space than it has to and one has the ability to minimize to the size of a small button it when it's not needed. It support both current add-on items and old status bar items, although the latter support needs to be enabled in the options.

It also integrates Download Statusbar leaving it on the left side of the screen, and resizes it according to the amount of current downloads.

The find text bar also gets stylized nicely. It gets placed above the add-on bar, but separated from it and with a really nice look.

The only issue I have with Minimize Addon-Bar is that it ignores the scroll bars and covers them.

Great Concept, Not So Great ExecutionRated 3 out of 5 stars

It shortens the add-on bar, increasing Firefox's webpage area and functionality. It also integrates Download Statusbar into it's minimalistic appearance.

Unfortunately, after retesting it for 10min I found that many bugs remain still.As mentioned by No Nothing, the bar doesn't always stay collapsed and it always pops back up on changing tabs.

I've also found that, when there are downloads running on Download Statusbar and the find text bar (Ctrl+F) is active, the bars become messy, with an empty bar at the bottom and Barlesque unintentionaly merging into the find bar.

Very Limited FunctionalityRated 3 out of 5 stars

The idea of having a multicolumn bookmark menu is great, since it's a lot handier than Firefox's default single column.

Problem is it only works in the menu bar, the one with the options "File", "Edit", "View"...It would be a lot more useful if it worked also for the bookmark button that is lokated in the navigation bar or in the bookmark bar and in the firefox button.

Is that function planed to be implemented?

/edit: since Personal Menu add-on makes use of the old bookmarks in the menu bar to display them in a custom button, Multicolumn Bookmarks (MB) became of more use to me. Unfortunately, the bookmark list doesn't display properly with MB: there's a small extra space before every divider.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's a very cool add-on, but for me it's not working like in the picture.Every tab gets resized to the minimum tab size, no matter if it's the active tab or one of the others.

I was expecting that the active tab and a few others around it (maybe the amount could be configured in the settings) would keep their regular width and those further away would only display the tab icon, allowing fast access and saving space.

/Edit: Just noticed I wasn't loged in when I tried to edit/delete this review before. Anyway, I've posted a new one.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.1-signed.1-signed).
